Real Stories from Real Parents
"We love that Dr. Gila is evidence-based, but also warm and genuine. Her lived experiences as a mom allow her such an empathic approach, which allowed us to feel so much less alone and overwhelmed. Her deep knowledge, combined with the actionable strategies she gave us, made her absolutely invaluable!
And her suggestions WORKED! What a Godsend."
"Working with Dr. Gila has been life-changing! Before, I felt frustrated, hopeless, and in despair. Now, I feel empowered and confident. And my relationship with my strong-willed child has been transformed.
Dr. Gila is gentle, honest, kind, and thoughtful. I never felt judged, and always felt validated and supported. Her coaching is hands-on, with practical guidance I can immediately use with my child. I am truly grateful that Dr. Gila came into my life."
"Dr. Gila has been amazing!
She is able to listen and reflect back and reframe as necessary (and it’s often been necessary) without judgment and with so much kindness and solidarity.
I am so grateful to have Gila in my corner and in my head, helping me celebrate the small successes, and gently and so wisely troubleshooting the challenges."
HELLO!
I'm Dr. Gila (she/her)
(Rhymes with "tequila")
I'm a psychologist and neuropsychologist, but none of my fancy degrees fully prepared me to handle some of the challenges of single parenting a "strong-willed," neurodivergent kiddo.
I dove head-first into the parenting research and discovered powerful tools for my own family.
Along the way, I discovered a passion for helping other struggling parents too!
Now, as a Jai-certified parenting coach, I help parents handle the hard stuff and build strong, healthy relationships with their kids AND themselves.
The secret?
Parenting with connection,
NOT perfection.
